The Schools’ dedicated faculty and administration have an average tenure of over 17 years with the school. Their dedication, commitment to teaching and the personal attention they pay to each and every student is evidenced by the high academic achievements of its students and the scores they attain in the Terra Nova Achievement tests. The purpose of these tests is to identify and examine areas of strength and weakness in the performance of students, to provide a basis for reports to parents and students and to inform teachers of the needs of their students. This helps in working toward increasing student achievement and closing achievement gaps. Under the direction of the English Language Arts Director, Kathy Izzo, the information from these tests is used to continuously evaluate teacher performance, teaching materials, and other tools and techniques to ensure that the students are getting the best possible education.
